Engine starts ok, but I have to keep my foot on the gas pedal for the engine to keep running, otherwise it will go off. Everytime I lift my foot up of the gas pedal, engine turn back off.

Don't know what to do, what could be the cause please

The six cylinder motors have a problem with the air intake boot(from the air mass to the throttle body) check it and see if it has cracked.
